Ajax (asynchronous JavaScript and XML), or AJAX, is a group of interrelated web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications or rich Internet applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. Data is retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object or through the use of Remote Scripting in browsers that do not support it. Despite the name, the use of JavaScript, XML, and asynchrony is not required.

Few weeks back, I posted about the Woopra Sharing Access and my switch from Google Analytics to Woopra. To tell you the truth, I am a major staticaholic and I don’t care about my income reports as much as my blog traffic statistics reports;) To me, one of the greatest joys of blogging or creating a new thing is watching it grow.
